    Other examples include Meldrick Taylor making Terry norris come down to 150 for a 154

    Ayala made Tapia come down 2 pounds for their rematch as well.

    CWs happen all the time

        I thought it was indicative of the facts you cant see , the delivery was aimed at fanboys in denial , Manny was always going to get caught sooner or later , the signs were there all the way , read my posts I been saying it all along and in hindsight look what happened , Floyd will not go like that by a smaller man because he is real , Manny was an elite fighter that was marketed great .

        How you can ignore the facts concerning Mannys CWS is pure ignorance , and thats ok if you dont know , but when its explained to you and you still deny it with some baseless BS , thats what I hate , Manny is fine with me I respect all fighters more than you will know , I debate the facts with haters , the hype I dont care about .

I think the catchweight just makes a even fight and the winner shouldnt b discredited
          Catchweight fights are here since then to make a fight possible between a small and bigger fighter. Example; 140 fighter A (Pacquaio) and 147 fighter B (Cotto) agreed to meet at 145. Fair enough but pressuring a 140 fighter A (Hatton, Marquez, Guerrero ) to move up to 147 to fight 147 fighter B (Floyd) who has the advantage and disadvantage? Surely the answer is obvious but some floms thought their hero is the lesser evil.

              When it comes to Pac, his haters will say that its unfair for him to make his opponent weigh in 1-2lbs under the weight limit, but they never mention how its unfair how Pac is outweighed by 10-15lbs by his opponent on fight night.

                Pretty much. Talk to Reloaded about that. He seems to be on a crusade on trying to convince people that Manny is the "catch weight king".

                  How was Manny always going to get caught sooner or later??? My man, you're coming off as a guy that wishes upon his down fall. Just stop already. You just sound dumber and dumber by the post.

                    Because the main element you conveniently jump over is the bigger opponent is drained training to make weight , Pac refuses to fight them without a lowering CW , even after beating Cotto he refuses to fight him at his healthy weight , do you guys need a hit on the head with a hammer , open your eyes its right in your face !

                    JMM KOed him , Bradley said he dont hit hard , yet this your ODH Cotto Margo killer , DRAINING CATCH WEIGHTS is your killer .

                      The moment he stopped with the CWs he stopped fighting WWs and he started to struggle with strong healthy opponents , sooner or later means somebody was going to expose the fact he wasnt the superman the hype portrayed him to be , the writing was on the wall for quite a while .
